Vintage Sculptural Bowtie Walnut Headboard | 60” Full/Queen

 This vintage headboard reflects the sculptural, organic design language that emerged in American case goods during the 1960s and 1970s, influenced by Brazilian modernism. A row of hourglass-shaped vertical spindles spans the top rail, setting it apart from the flat-panel headboards more commonly seen from this period.

Built from solid wood, the headboard is finished in a walnut tone that shows the natural grain of the material. The legs are simple rectangular blocks, joined with bolt-style knock-down hardware typical of mid-century bedroom furniture.

• Style: Mid-Century Modern / Sculptural Brasilia-Style
• Material: Solid walnut-toned wood
• Estimated era: 1960s–1970s
• Width: 60”

The hourglass spindle motif reflects the broader mid-century interest in sculptural, Brazilian modernist-influenced furniture forms, seen across several American manufacturers of the period. No maker’s mark is present on this piece.
